imitate what android had already done

When Apple presented Apple Intelligence I was quite confusing. One of the companies referring to the world of technology was shouting at the four winds that had practically nothing relevant on the table. One of the most striking novelties, that of A Siri with contextual understanding And capable of executing local Apple models in a conversational context, it ended up delaying without a date in view. The rest of the functions? Warm and little innovative.

Meanwhile, Samsung pushed from Google’s hand to create A AI tool suite for mobile to which nothing could not be reproached. Something they recently achieved with the family Samsung Galaxy S25the maximum current reference in artificial intelligence.

Apple has shown how AI for mobile. Even missing a lot of what they promised in their daywe already know how Apple understands the AI ​​for mobiles. Its approximation is local, Leaving third parties like OpenAi The complex process (consultations that require search in Siri, contextual analysis of the screen), and centralizing in its own model the native functions of AI that execute their apps (translations, call filters, minor editions of image).

It is an AI in which developers will have a lot to do: their models will be accessible so that applications can use artificial intelligence locally and without connection. But this local approach is not enough, Apple has failed to contribute a single function that was no longer present on Android.

Arrive late when the rest arrives soon and well. Apple is usually said that it is late, but it is well. The problem is to be late and well when your rivals arrive soon and well. The functions presented yesterday by Apple have been present at Android for some time.

• The translation of real -time calls was already present in One UI.
• Text translation on screen is a native Gemini function that already implement manufacturers such as OnePlus and Samsung.
• The contextual analysis of the screen is a function that Google premiered with “Roda to search”and that has currently advanced to the point where Gemini can talk with us in real time about what he sees on our mobile.
• Intelligent summaries also have been hand in hand with Gemini.

Apple’s approach, in functions such as spam detection, is enough less fine than Google’s. The company analyzes by means of patterns in the call to determine whether or not spam and warns us on the screen of the potential risk. Apple has opted to block all calls from unknown numbers and force the interlocutor to give explanations about who he is and what he wants. Good to block fraudulent calls, annoying for important emergencies and calls from numbers that we do not have stored on the agenda.

Samsung and local execution. One of Apple’s most applauded points and its AI is the local approach. Here they seem to be in the lead, although more for demerit of the rest of their rivals than by the operation of their models. Currently, the AI ​​on Android is divided into two: Samsung and the rest of the manufacturers. The rest of Oems bet on implementing the functions of Gemini Nano With little care, so the Internet connection is mandatory.

However, manufacturers such as Samsung have been allowing users for two years to use local. Advanced functions such as image generation do not work, but the elimination of sound, light generative editions (allowance) or transcripts work at home.

For Apple is not what, is how. Apple has always been pragmatic. He knows that his models are more than valid for the execution of simple tasks, and delegates the complex tasks in OpenAi. It also does it, relying on three pillars.

• It is optional.
• It is private.
• It is interchangeable.

For Apple, Private Cloud Compute It is fundamental. The company has designed an architecture that, in case of needing Internet connection for complex tasks, is extremely careful with the data launched to the server. This data shipping is encrypted from end to end, and not even company employees have access, according to Apple. A local, private and jealous with the data is a more limited AI, and Apple is willing to deal with it.
